Number-One Audible and New York Times Audio Best Seller
More than one million audiobooks sold
A lone astronaut must save the earth from disaster in this incredible new science-based thriller from the number-one New York Times best-selling author of The Martian.
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish.
Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it.
All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.
His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, he realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Alone on this tiny ship that's been cobbled together by every government and space agency on the planet and hurled into the depths of space, it's up to him to conquer an extinction-level threat to our species.
And thanks to an unexpected ally, he just might have a chance.
Part scientific mystery, part dazzling interstellar journey, Project Hail Mary is a tale of discovery, speculation, and survival to rival The Martian - while taking us to places it never dreamed of going.
PLEASE NOTE: To accommodate this audio edition, some changes to the original text have been made with the approval of author Andy Weir.

Brilliant SciFi
This is one of the best science fiction books I have ‘read’. A terminal page-turner that I finished far too soon because I couldn’t put it down. I could quibble with a little of the dialogue back ‘on Earth’, but the action in space was, well, superb!
It’s ‘techie’, and all about problem-solving—like The Martian—but absolutely brilliant for my tastes. I thought I saw—although now I can’t find it—someone in these reviews comparing Andy Weir to Arthur C Clarke. This is classic SciFi—Clarke on speed. Brilliant characterisation from Ray Porter too.
I enjoyed Project Hail Mary so much, I immediately went back and listened to it all over again. I cannot recommend it too highly.

12 stars isn't enough for this incredible story
Andy Weir, thank you. What a tour de force! This is not some sci-fi fan boy fiction. This is a study on what it means to be human. I laughed and I cried at least twice. I just loved the way the protagonists worked through their problems together. From learning how to communicate to figuring out why they thought at the same speed. Just genius. I'm so sad I've finished it. Please write another soon.

Fantastic
After listening to Artemis I was a fan of Andy Weir. This is an exceptional performance and the way that sounds are used really bring out the relationships between characters. Strongly recommended.

Amaze!
Amaze! I loved this book. Perhaps I even liked it better than the Martian.
How is it that Weir can make “sciencing the shit” out of stuff into a plot point? And make it exciting as well?!?
He is also insanely good at clever names. There are so many new things that the MC of this book gets to name and they really are so clever.
This book had me snickering out loud. But it also had me sniffling as well. Any book that does that gets a double thumbs up from me.
The audiobook was wonderful. Ray Porter was the perfect voice actor for this. He really nailed it. The sound engineer did a lovely job rendering certain sounds.

Enjoyable story.
Andy Weir steps away from the impossible and into the fantasy realm of SiFi... Which makes for an enjoyable story. As usual full of witt and moments of thought. Certainly keeps you listening. Enjoy.

Really worth listening to.
This book was fantastic I found myself going from having the biggest smile on my face to holding back tears within minutes of each other. It has a great moments of humour which I really love in sci-fi books, the ending was not what I was expecting at all but I'm so glad that it unfolded the way it did. Andy Weir is my go to author for all things science and space he doesn't disappoint.
